In this study, a functionally stable insoluble Cu/Fe nanoparticles (Cu/Fe NPs) were synthesized and applied denitrification with different contaminants. The results showed that 50 mg/L Cu/Fe NPs increased NO3--N reduction rate up to 14.3 mg/(L·h) about 3 folds compared with the control system (4.7 mg/(L·h)), and Cu/Fe NPs exhibited excellent restorative e ...

Kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 (k-CZTS) nanocrystals have received attention for their tunable optoelectronic properties, as well as the earth abundance of their constituent atoms. However, the phase-pure synthesis of these quaternary NCs is challenging due to their polymorphism, as well as the undesired fo ...

Carbon dots have garnered significant attention owing to their versatile and highly tunable optical properties; however, the origins and the underlying mechanism remains a subject of debate especially for dual fluorescent systems. Here, we have prepared carbon dots from glutathione and formamide precursors via a one-pot solvothermal synthesis. Steady stat ...

The groundwater with high arsenic concentration is widespread, especially in many remote areas of developing countries. Arsenic existing in drinking water sources has a high risk to human health. In this study, an innovative effort to remove As(V) from water using ceramic filters functionalized with CeO2 nanocomposites (CF-CeO2) was investigated. Consider ...
